Six Run for Lincoln County Sheriff
The requirements to be elected County Sheriff in the state of Idaho are nearly nonexistent. You must be 21, a U.S. citizen, reside in the county one year prior to being elected, and pay a $40 filing fee. After being elected you have to attend the “newly elected sheriffs’ school” sponsored by the Idaho sheriffs’ association (IC 34-618). Five years ago there was an effort to change the law to require POST Certification within one year of being elected Sheriff. Certification costs - about $8000 - could have been self-paid, or paid by the county after
May 4
the individual was elected. The justification for this proposal (made by the Idaho Sheriff’s Association) was to make sure sheriffs are prepared for the job, a job that not only requires understanding of the law, but the management of finances and officers. The bill died after two tie votes failed to push the measure to the House floor. The general consensus was this issue needed to be a citizenled effort or a referendum. In two week, the voters of Lincoln County will head to the polls with SIX choices for County Sheriff. Remarkably, most of the candidates
have some police training. Here is a brief look at the Republican Candidates: Rene Rodriguez currently works for the Shoshone Police Department, and as a part-time deputy for Lincoln County. Along with Advanced Certification from POST, he has eleven years of experience as a petrol officer/Sergeant, working in the Blaine County jail, and grant management & administration for the Shoshone Police. He strongly believes that Law Enforcement officers need to be regularly seen in the community, not just in a car or... continued on page 6.....
Along with the Gooding Volunteer Group, the Camas County Senior and Community Center in Fairfield will participating in this year’s Idaho Gives. No matter where you live, senior centers are not what they used to be. They are dynamic places that offer exercise classes, volunteer headquarters, local meeting places, health clincs, art studios, and more. Senior centers also provide meals - some serve lunch three times a week while others are full time. Some (like the Camas Senior Center) serve breakfast five-days-aweek. And they are not just for “old” people. Maintaining these types of facilities requires dedicated volunteers, often the seniors themselves. The Camas Senior and Community Center would like to encourage you to participate in this year’s Idaho Gives project and suport their fundraising efforts. Sign on Tomorrow

June Crystal Koonce
June Crystal Koonce, 82, a resident of Gooding, passed away on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at the North Canyon Medical Center in Gooding. June was born on June 16, 1933 in Veradale, Washington to parents Hans W. And Ethel Viola Hoyt Vinge, joining a family of eight siblings. June was raised in Veradale where she received her education. Being of a practical nature, June took up the career of cooking. In doing so she made many people happy as she perfected her skills. June was born of a musical family and carried music in her soul and her fingers wherever she went. Music was an incredibly important part of her life and everyone around her was blessed by June’s gift of music. She was also a very talented artist, accomplishing many works of art over her lifetime. June Vinge was united in marriage to Billy Warner Clements in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on the 3rd of September 1949. Their union was blessed with two children, Ellen Colleen and Craig Warner. During their marriage they moved to Colorado where they were both employed on ranches as cook and cowboy over the years until Billy’s passing. June was then married to John “Paul” Koonce in Sparks, Nevada on November 20, 1971. During their marriage they resided in Brighton, Colorado, San Jose, California and finally settling in Gooding, Idaho for the last 20 plus years. Here in Gooding, June and Paul became an important part of the tight-knit community; June providing music for all celebrations and Paul being involved in a very active way with the Elks and with helping others in their daily lives. Both were faithful members of the United Methodist Church. June was preceded in death by her parents, Hans and Ethel Vinge, her first husband, Billy Clements; four brothers and three sisters. Surviving family members are: husband, Paul Koonce of Gooding; children, Ellen (Dustin) Shepherd of Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada and Craig (Rita) Clements of Caroline, Alberta, Canada and Paul’s children, Layne Hall of Logansport, Indiana and Robin Lakamt of Portland, Oregon; four grandchildren – Rebecca, Carol, Nicol and Ryan, 13 great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren. The family would like to thank the staff of North Canyon Medical Center and Dr. John Gies for the care and concern showed to June and Paul. Donations can be made to the Gooding Senior Center in lieu of flowers. A memorial service was held at the Gooding United Methodist church on Monday, May 2, 2016.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Race continued...
...at the other end of a phone call. Verlon C. Southwick has also been to Idaho POST Academy, and has been serving Lincoln County as a certified deputy, Search & Rescue member, and a Emergency Medical Technician, He believes one of the most important aspects of being a sheriff in a small community is the ability to be frugal with limited funds. Another experienced police officer is JR Gregory. Along with 1400 hours of Mandatory Law Enforcement Training, JR has over 200 hours of training in Investigations and Child Crimes, 500 Hours of Narcotics Training, and 167 Hours of Administration & Leadership Training. He believes that the way to make a community safer is by protecting it from narcotics, and making sure our youth are able to succeed. Bill Irving has 13 years of law enforcement - 12 years as a certified officer, and a majority of that experience in Lincoln County. His main concern is the lack of cooperation between various county entities. He believes the Sheriff’s Office needs to be a leader in establishing trust and communication, not only between departments, but in the whole community. Cresley McConnell has served Lincoln County as a county commissioner for the past four years, and now he wants to put his administrative skills to work in a different way. Along with volunteering many hours with Search & Rescue and the ambulance service, he is a Level Two Reserve Deputy. As a Joint Powers Board member of the Southern Idaho Regional Communications (SIRCOMM) he knows what it takes to keep our communities safe. There is one Democrat candidate for the office of Lincoln County Sheriff, Craig Gill. More about him this fall.

Burn Permits Required Starting May 10
Starting May 10, Idahoans must obtain a burn permit from the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) before starting certain controlled burn activities. The permits can be obtained online at http://www.burnpermits.idaho.gov or in person at IDL offices statewide. The burn permit is free of charge and good for 10 days after it is issued. Permits issued through the self service web site are available seven days a week, issued immediately, and valid immediately. Idaho law (38-115) requires any person living outside city limits anywhere in Idaho who plans to burn anything - including crop residue burning and burn barrels - during closed fire season to obtain a fire safety burn permit. No permit is needed for recreational campfires. Closed fire season is May 10 through October 20 every year. Residents also are encouraged to contact their local city or rural fire department before burning because some incorporated cities and towns may require their own burn permit. IDL will not issue burn permits within districts where local burn bans are in effect. Additionally, residents should contact the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality for air quality information by calling (800) 633-6247 or visiting http://deq.idaho.gov/air-quality.aspx. The burn permit system informs fire managers where burning activities are occurring, which reduces the number of false runs to fires and saves firefighting resources for when truly needed. It also enables fire managers to respond more quickly to fires that escape, potentially reducing the liability of the burner. After a record breaking fire season last year, Idaho Department of Lands reminds residents to burn responsibly and have all necessary tools readily available to extinguish their fire to prevent an escaped burn. Contact information for IDL offices where burn permits can be obtained in person is available at http://www.idl. idaho.gov/areas/index.html.

Special Project to Assist with Low Elevation Sprinklers
Natural Resources Conservation Service State Conservationist for Idaho, Curtis Elke, has set aside funding under the agency’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for a special project to help producers in the upper Snake River Valley improve their irrigation efficiency. Bonneville, Teton, Jefferson, Clark, Madison and Fremonts counties fall within the project area. The project will offer funding for cost share assistance on Low Elevation Sprinkler Application (LESA) Systems, which University of Idaho research shows save water. Cost share assistance is available up to $12,000 per person to implement this system. In addition to the LESA cost share, there is also assistance available to purchase soil moisture sensors to aid in fully utilizing the new systems efficiency and water savings. “While Idaho’s moisture outlook has improved this year, drought will remain a threat to the state’s agriculture,” said Elke. “In setting aside these funds, NRCS-Idaho is calling for applications to ensure that our precious water resources are being utilized in an efficient and sustainable fashion.” Applications for this program are now being taken through May 20. Contact your local NRCS field office for more information or to apply. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (866) 632-9992 (Toll-free Customer Service), (800) 877-8339 (Local or Federal relay), (866) 377-8642 (Relay voice users).
